Head of Austria's Muslim Community Promises to Promote Holocaust Education

FSWC Reports:

From Reuters:

New York Rabbi Marc Schneier won a small but significant victory on a
recent visit to Vienna – a promise from the head of Austria’s Islamic
community to promote Holocaust education among the country’s half a
million Muslims.

Invited to an interfaith lunch along with his years-long partner in Jewish-Muslim outreach, Imam Shamsi Ali, Schneier found himself having a “very, very frank exchange” of views with Muslim leader Fuat Sanac, whom the Austrian Jewish community was hosting for the first time.
